In God's plan of salvation, forgiveness and redemption are offered freely to humanity, a gift undeserved and unearned. The apostle Paul writes in Ephesians that believers are saved by grace through faith, emphasizing the role of divine favor in justification. Romans and 2 Corinthians also highlight the transformative power of grace, liberating believers from sin's dominion and empowering them to live a new life. As James notes, God gives more grace to the humble, while Romans reminds us that if it is by grace, then it is no longer by works, underscoring the distinction between divine mercy and human effort.
